Megan's Way
by Melissa Foster
What would you do for love?
When Megan Taylor, a single mother and artist, receives the shocking news that her cancer has returned, she'll be faced with the most difficult decision she's ever had to make. She'll endure an emotional journey, questioning her own moral and ethical values, and the decisions she'd made long ago. The love she has for her daughter, Olivia, and her closest friends, will be stretched and frayed.
Meanwhile, fourteen-year-old Olivia's world is falling apart right before her eyes, and there's nothing she can do about it. She finds herself acting in ways she cannot even begin to understand. When her internal struggles turn to dangerous behavior, her life will hang in the balance.
Megan's closest friends are caught in a tangled web of deceit. Each must figure out how, and if, they can expose their secrets, or forever be haunted by their pasts.
Megan's Way is available for purchase through Amazon as a paperback ($14.95) and as an ebook Kindle edition ($0.99). It's also available

This sounds like one I would enjoy. I'd love to be entered to win an e-book of this! Thanks so much.
Hi! *waves* Great interview!! I can't wait to have you over to my place this week :) So excited for all these amazing things happening!!! Congrats!
Thanks, Jodi! I'm excited to get started! Julie - looking forward to hanging out with you on your blog and meeting in Ohio!!!
XO,
Melissa
'Megan's Way' sounds like an interesting, thought-provoking read which I'm looking forward to reading; and I can't wait for 'Come Back to Me', it sounds right up my street!
Congratulations on the film adaptation of your novel. How exciting for you, especially since it is going to be based on your own screenplay. Way to take some initiative!
I also enjoyed your interview and am adding both books to my TBR pile. I'll also happily blog about your blog tour over at my little corner of the world as well.
The description of the book reminds me so much of what my sister went through with her own daughter. I really must read this!
Congratulations on the blog tour, Melissa! "Megan's Way" sounds great, and I'd love to read it. Enjoy your week.

Looks like a good book.

Interesting blog tour topics.
Melissa, you seem to successfully walk a fine line of letting go of your "baby" so others can work on it, for example, writing a screenplay and making the film. Still, you obviously push hard to share your vision and to make it into a reality.
Do you have a phrase/quote that comes to your mind whenever you are trying to balance on that fine line?
good sounding storyline!

Great interview! Congratulations! Can't wait to see the movie of Megan's Way.
Melissa,
Looking forward to reading this and seeing the movie. One question for you. You said you reached out to people who had loved ones with terminal illness for "Megan's Way", how did you do your research for your third novel?
Thanks for sharing!
I think the book sounds interesting and I really liked the interview. The third book sounds like a fascinating read too.
Sarah, thank you! I hope you enjoy it when you read it, and I'm thrilled that you like the sound of Come Back to Me! I'm in the editing stages now, and it's my editor's fave book of mine:-)
Rechelle, thank you for the kudos. Can you please send me the link to your blog? I'll link to it from my site (thinkhappygirl (at) yahoo (dot) com. Thanks for the support!
LuAnne, I'm so sorry that your sister and niece went through something so difficult. I'm fairly certain that Megan's story will leave you feeling hopeful. Many hugs.
Andrea, thank you for stopping by. I hope you enjoy Megan's Way, and thanks for the support :-)
Thanks, slb3334:-)
Julie, that's a great question! I live by one thought, and it applies to just about everything in life. "Enjoy each and every day, no one else will do it for you." By that I mean that you make a conscious decision every day to either enjoy the moments you are blessed with, or not. I choose to enjoy them, and for me, part of what makes me happy is sharing with others. I worked hard to bring Megan's Way to the world of readers, and now I have to trust in my director to bring it to the world of movie-goers.
Frogz60 - thank you!
Geraldine, you are always so kind. thank you for the support.
Hi Molly, my third novel involves lost loves and it's set in the US and in Iraq. Most of my research has involved people who have lived in both locations without their family members. I've also spoken with people who have lost loved ones, and people who have not had closure on lost loved ones. I've done cultural research as well.
Thank you, Jobrerry, for stopping by. I hope you'll pick up Megan's Way.
To everyone who has stopped by, thank you!! I truly appreciate your support.
If you do purchase Megan's Way or Chasing Amanda, I hope you will also enter my summer-long Kindle giveaway contest. You can read about it here: http://melissafoster.com/content/win-kindle
I'm hoping there will be many winners.
Thank you again, and I hope you'll follow my blog tour <3
I believe it is more loving and parental to let go! Best of luck with your novel. It looks great!

Your description of the story and characters captured my interest. I'm looking forward to reading this book and watching the film.
This sounds like an important book. Both the interviewer and you did a great job of capturing and sharing it.

Melissa, I am touched by the subject matter of Megan's Way. I would love to win an e-book copy, but am likely to buy it if my luck is not with me in this.
Mothers and daughters - how well I know that scenario. I look forward to reading Megans Way. But wow, Come Back to Me sounds like an amazing story too. Keep writing!!
Count me in, please!

Great interview!
I think I might have found another favorite author:) I love the complex plots and the willingness to go outside conventional boxes. So, umm... am I even eligible to enter these contests??
Hi Gale - Thank you. I think Megan did the right thing for her and Olivia.
Thank you, Connie. I hope you enjoy the book and enter the Kindle contest:-)
Lynn, I believe Megan's Way is a very important book. The themes of love and forgiveness, the exploration of the depth of the mother-daughter bond, and the faith each friend had in the others, can add value to any reader's thoughts. Thank you.
KMK - it's only 99 cents, so I'd say go for it! And you can win a Kindle (for a friend if you have one already - they make great gifts!). I hope you will let me know what you think of the story. I love to hear from readers.
Thank you, Robin. I'm making great headway in Come Back to Me. I'm probably a month away from completion. Thank you for the support.
Desmond, thanks for stopping by the blog tour kick-off. Good luck!
Robyn, thank you. The interview was fun to do. I hope you'll check out Megan's Way and Chasing Amanda.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by to check out the kick off of my blog tour. I hope you will visit each of the blog tour stops. The blog hosts will be giving away copies of my books, hosting interviews, and many guest posts.
I truly appreciate your support!
Great interview Melissa! I'm looking forward to the next one.
I would love to read this!
I want to win this:)
